Anniversary
of
Alcohol
Prohibition
12/6/02
As DRCNet's "mini-bulletin"
noted yesterday, December 5th was the 69th anniversary of the repeal of
Alcohol Prohibition. As promised, we recommend here a few good links
exploring this important topic. Please let us know of anything especially
good that we missed. There's much more information out there on the
web -- including some (unrealistic) pieces claiming prohibition succeeded
-- do a net search and explore!
